Overview
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of typhoid fever include the following:
Vaccination
There are two types of vaccines for typhoid fever[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
- Inactivated typhoid vaccine, ViCPS(IM)
- Live typhoid vaccine (oral)
Indications
- Travelers visiting endemic areas.[9][10]
- Health care workers dealing typhoid patients or handling salmonella typhi.
- Individuals at increased risk of acquiring infection such as household contact[11][12]
Contraindications
Following are the contraindications for typhoid vaccine[5][13]
- Severe allergic reaction to the vaccine component
- Severely ill patients or immunocompromised individuals
- Severe reaction to previous dose.
- Children younger than 2 years of age for inactivated vaccine.
- Children younger than six years of age for live attenuated vaccine.
- Pregnancy[14]
The table below provides the basic information on typhoid vaccines that are available in the United States:
Other measures
Following measures in endemic areas help decrease incidence of typhoid in these areas.[5]
- Improving personal hygiene and sanitation[15]
- Proper sewage disposal.
- Avoiding overcrowding.
- Avoiding close contact or sharing utensils with people already suffering from typhoid.
Following preventive measures can help prevent disease in people traveling to endemic area:[5][16]
